Well, it's because we already sent you all our worst. It took a stable genius to notice we did it. Everyone else just saw us as your nice friendly neighbours to the north, but remember how we behave in the wars? Where did all those people go?
Actually, it's become a little bit true lately as some Canadians were accidentally the recipient of whatever the hell made people into "MAGA people", so some of them actually have gone down to be closer to the "fountain of TRUTH"... and so they would look less silly wearing MAGA hats... I mean, sure, Canada is also technically America, but... yeah, they wear those hats up here too, luckily not as many.
Hehe, well it's hard to say "make america great again by voting for Trump" was intentionally targeted at Canadians. So while alot of the general stuff was less targeted, it's kind of crazy that one still managed to land on some Canadians.
Fair, though I would say the rhetoric was such that politicians more in line with Trump ideals got a boost from the more targeted messaging to Americans. Don't think it was the primary target, obvs, but I don't think it's purely incidental.
I may be wrong, but in a different social climate I feel we could've had Erin O'Toole instead of Lil' PP as the leader of the CPC into the upcoming election, which (strong fuck the CPC in general feelings aside) I'd be less unimpressed with. A lot of energy has been devoted to catering to far-right voters, and that is in no small part to sentiments which crossed the border (though to be realistic, definitely not the only factor at play here).
That is hilarious.
No. It's not, really.
It's sad and terrifying how stupid and eager to harm others are.
